Anyone spotted a good screen protector for the Arc? I used a Brando in the past and was very happy with it, but I can't find the Arc on their homepage yet.
I've just ordered one from e-bay ;-)
Hey, I just read that there might be a screen protector installed out of the box!
yes that is true..
once u remove the top film..
look carefully..
factory fitted screen protector is on the screen..
also there is an extra protector amongst the warranty card and papers
Yes, mine had already a screen protector installed. An theres an extra in the box.
And there was a really leathercase.
i got mine two days ago with a screen protector in the box but i looked real carefully and didnt seem to see one pre fitted on the screen. Maybe i looked wrong
I also got an HDMI cable and leather case in the box.
can someone please tell me that maybe there are some countries where the screen protector is not pre fitted ? is that possible ? or have i not looked hard enough ?
There can be regional differences of course (some parts of Europe get a 16GB SDHC and a leather case...), but supposedly the protector is extremely hard to see. It was the same with the X10, and most people didn't even realize there was a protector installed and put another one right over it.
Just noticed it had a protector already installed. I installed the one that came in the box, so I now have to protectors on the screen lol.
Clarivue recently released protectors for the Arc. Cant post a link cuz I'm new here!
I like their anti glare protectors, because fingerprint marks are not as visible - which is very important for me for a touch screen device.
Although they are a little more expensive, you get two in a pack. You can use coupon clear630 and get 10% off. If your ordering 3 or more items you get another 10% off.
I got my Arc 3 days after it came out in Dubai, checked clarivue that day they didn't have them for the Arc, so I ordered anti-glare protectors from eBay. I checked clarivue again yesterday and they had them.
lol i also didnt notice thrs a preinstalled sp on the screen thus applied the extra sp.. now i have double protection!!! lol...
+1
At the factory, they pose it without any imperfection
Found one in the box but my eyes aren't good enough to see if theres one on already :-B I assume there is

You will see a very small line just inside the edge of the screen itself going all the way around. I can guarantee you already have one already installed
If in doubt use a magnifying glass.
anyone used a 3M Vikuiti ADQC27 for the arc? Does it fit well?
hey everyone, just so you know SGP has put out their screen shields for the arc, imo they are one of the best so, give it a look and enjoy

Have anyone thought about Invisible Shield from zagg
http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield...es-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php
i just bought one a few days ago off ebay... still waiting for it to come in.
i had one on my x10 and i liked it. it is much more resistant to scratches than sony ericsson's so-called 'scratch resistant shatter proof sheet on mineral glass'. apparently zagg invisishield skins are made with the same material used to protect military helicopter blades (from what i've heard). one of the downsides to it is it makes finger swiping a bit harder because the screen is a bit more 'grippy'.
Personally, I would avoid Zaag, they are so tricky to apply. My recommendation has to be Martin Fields' or Brando.
whoah!..i just read this thread...and realised that there was a screen protector already preinstalled..unfortunately I had applied the one provided in the box a few days back (horribly i must add)...nice feature by Sony, but they shud mention it..
has anybody tried to remove the factory installed screenprotector? The reason i ask is because i removed the extra screenprotector that i installed when i got the phone since it had some inperfections, now i have a scratch in what i hope is the factory screenprotector and not the screen itself and a invisibleshield waiting to be installed but i cant remove the factory installed one
yea... screen protectors are a b*tch to install. do it once and do it right.

Hi, found this screen protector on HTC europe shop. Bit exepnsive but is it worth it? I mean the screen protector provided byt HTC is really good. THey offer also a 5 pack for 31 euros.
What do you think guys?
It is not expensive. Brando has one screen protector for 10 dollars. Clarivue has 2 for 9,99 US$. So, 5 for 31 euros is cheap.
Thanx for letting me know. Then I'll buy the 5 pack as soon as I can.
why would you want 5 screen protecters. you just can put one on your phone
Go cheap
I bought a set of six really cheap ones on ebay for under 5 euros delivered, and they're excellent... I've had more expensive ones in the past for other devices, and these cheap ones are just as good. Search ebay for elf protectors - the seller is german.
It's all down to how you apply them, as with all screen savers. Even if they say they're removable and washable etc, if you don't get them right first time you're stuffed.
Secret is to get the screen clean first - I use stick tape to pull off all the dust and bits, then apply the protector from one end, using a credit card or something to press down behind it whilst installing.
The screen protector that comes with HTC boxed in India is the worst! Its almost like a cello-tape on big size. Screwed my screen completely when removed. Then I had to use some shampoo for removing the sticky stains.
So carefull sticking..

Carty..

check out this site, lots of goodies @ good price!
i had 1 screen protector (orginal) for 10 euro in france
so 5 for 31 euro is a good deal
HTC Orginal protective screen (not the free one they give you)
Just got 6 decent quality protectors for £3.00 inc carriage. Found them on ebay from a UK company - the ebay shop is E-Cell Global. They are miles better than one I got from Play.com, applied easily and I can honestly say they are invisible - i had to double check it was on it! Must be the best bargain ever.
PS: The reason I have been looking for new protectors is because I did a stupid thing with my new HTC Touch Enhanced. I put on the one supplied wth it and it looked rubbbish so i threw it away. After a few weeks use I saw a very small mark on the edge of the screen and lifted it up with my finger nail. Seems the touchpad / digitizer has a very thick plastic protector already on it fitted at the factory. Because I had lifted the edge it looked bad so I pulled the whole thing off. BAD move as the screen underneath it is very easy to damage and I got a few scratches on it before I fitted the new covers above. It now looks as good as new so I seem ot have got away with it.
Has anyone else removed this thick protector? In theory if you got a bad scratch on your screen you could pull this off and wack a new protector straight on fixing the screen for just a few quid.
Hej there,
i got some of these:
http://tinyurl.com/5gaobo
dirt-cheap (especially in euros) and really good quality, easy to apply and no scratches from the stylus at all (the protector i used before got scrachted immediately) ...
and the best thing is it ships free worldwide, really can recommend these
At BOL you can get the original HTC screenprotector. A 2-pack for only 5 euro.
Or.... a whole new digitizer for $10 Euro... I considered the prices of screen protectors and decided to skip placing one on my Touch altogether. I carry mine in the protective pouch and if or when it will get too scratched to look good, I'll just replace the touch screen.

I also decided to skip using the screen protector. I keep mine in it's case all the time (except for when I am using it). I have gone through 2 screen protectors in 6 months - They scratch way too easily if there is even the slightest bit of debris on your finger and they smudge to easily as well. Now that I am not using the screen protector, the screen is clearer, Colours are more vibrant, sensitivity to touch is better and I can write with the stylus better.

Chinese screen protectors are available for 1dollar only. im using one & its not too bad. i keep changing evry 2 months.
the screen protector supplied free with it in egypt is very bad it is massively scratched but i hesitste to remove it because it may leave marks of adhesive substance
Any place to buy this in AUS ..i also need a new one..
has anyone here used the TMOBILE "in the box" screen protector ?
mine already had a thin film protector and a spare one in the box ... been using it with thin film one since last few weeks and i am not completely sure if i should change it
any experiences / advice would be highly appreciated ...
I was trying to find screen protector for HTC aria and all i found is from ebay. Zagg invisible shield dont even have it yet
On the zagging you could order the hd mini and cut for the optical
being a user of zagg on previous phones i can't imagine it playing very nice with a touchscreen.
Screen + Protector?
Try Amazon.com the screen protector product is made by Amzer for the HTC Aria.
I am a new user so I can't post the link.
I just purchased the screen protector from AT&T and the edges on all 4 corners protrude ... when I put the back case back on it pushed each corner up.
Has anyone else had problems with the AT&T protectors?

Keep in mind that the Amzer protectors don't ship until 7/13 (according to their website).
Me? I'll probably go the HD Mini protector + hole punch DIY route that others are suggesting. Too many opportunities to scuff up my screen with kids in the house.

I have the same problem with the screen protectors I got when I bought my Aria. I will apply another one tomorrow and cut the edges before I apply.
Zagg are great for touch screen
I have been using Zagg's stuff on my old iPhone and my wife's iPhone and they worked great. I actually prefer the feel with the invisible shield applied. I am bummed that they don't have one that is designed for the Aria yet. Anyone actually tried the HD mini one with success?
I got the Amzer® Rubberized Black Snap On Crystal Hard Case for HTC Aria. It doesn't ship 'till 7/13, but that's only 2 weeks, so I can live with that. I got this case because it's like a soft/hard case, and I think that will work better than an all-hard or an all-soft case. Then I got a Gadget Guard screen protector. I was originally going to get an Amzer screen protector, but I read reviews saying Amzer's screen protectors are really bad. Hopefully, their cases will be okay. This is the only company so far I've seen that are making cases for HTC Aria. I didn't know what AT&T had because I bought mine at Best Buy. Btw, from Best Buy, you don't need to do the rebates, because they already include it in their price.
as for the screen protector i got a package of 4 universal screen protectors
from there I took a hole punch to make a whole for the optical button then applied the screen protector to the phone without the case and trimmed it with a razor blade.

Zagg has one up on their site now. Just ordered mine.

zagg is now selling screen protector, or full body protectors
Edit... aww eff someone beat me to it... same reasoning as well.... sigh... haha
Has anyone ever used the Phantom Skinz?
I briefly tried a Zagg Invisible Shield (invisible my ass) on my previous phone and it made the screen noticeably less clear and it was very hard to clean pocket lint off of it because it was so grippy.

I used to use them on all my blackberrys. You just dip them in water and apply it to your device. To me they all look the same, I would say that phantom is not as thick as zagg but performs just as well.
Does anyone have feedback on the zagg cover for the back of the aria? I am surprised that they even make it since its got a rubberized type coating. The screen protector is a must do, but the back I cant see for the aria.
Of course they come out with the specific cover days after I buy a different one and cut to fit. Dohhhhhhhhh!
Another thumbs up for Phantomskins. Easy ordering, fast shipping, easy installation.
For the first 24hrs or so, (Dry-ish california weather) the screen touch sensation is a bit grippy, but after a day or so it becomes slick again.
I ordered front only as I see no need to protect the back, and if there is a very nice case one day I will get that anyway. My immediate problem was protecting the glass front. So I ordered just the front skin, which covers the entire phone front as shown on the phantomskin website.
After drying, viewed at an angle the surface appears wavy but viewed straight on it is perfectly invisible. Skin fits aria perfectly.

In for 2
ordered a full body protector from ghost armor yesterday. will report on how i like it when it gets in.
Hello,
Do you recommend Belkin Anti-Glare Screen protector for SGS2? (if you have used it) If not, which screen protector do you recommend? The most important thing for me: It nearly shouldn't have any affect on touch screen sensitivity.
Thanks.
You see im in the camp of whats the point of a screen protector, adding another layer to screen. I just use a cheap clam flip case to keep the screen safe. Only just had S2 but never had a screen protector on my sgs for over year and never got a mark on it

I'm using a basic silicon case. Flip cases are protecting well but having a flap hanging around while using the phone is a little bit annoying for me. I want to use it because, Gorilla Glass screen is just scratch resistant, not scratch-proof. There are many people reporting scratches after just daily use. Also Anti-Glare films making the screen easier to slide, especially in games like Fruit Ninja

OK, I will be glad if you let me know about it. It looks fine. But I couldn't find any local online shop selling Estoc protectors. So, i think I'm going to buy this one tomorrow:

I will write about it.
I have tried the SGP ultra oleophobic, and this worked well for 2 weeks, but after that it would start to attract oil, ... the opposite of what it was supposed to do, the plus side is that it doesn't have tint and the screen looks good. I am now going to try the Halo screen protector. Let us know how you screen protector turns out.
I really like the one that comes with the otterbox for the S2.
it's easy to put on and fits perfectly!
hope this helps
Definitely Zagg invisibleSHIELD.
I couldn't find them locally either. GMarket was the only place I could find them online, I split the cost of shipping with a few other people from XDA.

You get 2,unlike zagg.
It also is much smoother, no orange peel & is not tacky unlike zagg products.
But zagg is still a very good product in my opinion.

zagg is a good brand/product ... but the invisible shield, like chrisjcks said, is not smooth which affect the touch response cause of that tacky feel of it
Received the 3M Estoc screen protector today. It's quite solid, and enables you to 'buff out' minor scratches & dings on the protector. This is due to a coating on the protector itself that obviously wears away over a period of time. It comes with a 49873 page encyclopedia with instructions on how to fit (due to having instructions in 192 different languages). The package contains the protector itself, a microfibre cleaning cloth, a cardboard thingy to smooth out the bubbles when you fit the protector and a few dust removal stickers.
Fitting was no more difficult or different to any other screen protector, just a case of making sure the screen is perfectly clean/free of dust, then slowly/carefully applying it to the screen & smoothing out the bubbles as you go.
This is a good protector if you're using a bumper case & don't have your screen covered, it will easily handle being in a pocket with other items & should protect the screen quite well. It will probably last at least a couple of months (maybe more, depending on how rough you are with your phone) if you use your phone like this. As I use a flip case, it will probably be good for much longer than this, as the face of the phone won't be exposed to the lining of pockets, keys, loose change, etc, etc.
Now to the question of value. Is it worth the ~$25 or so ? Compared to the $15 protector I had on my phone previously, and given I use a flip case which protects the screen anyways, probably not. I doubt I'll be spending another $25 on one of these when it comes time to get a new screen protector.
But if you're someone who uses bumper cases/etc & likes having a 'nudie' screen, I'd definitely recommend these. Obviously if you only order one from GMarket the shipping will make it a fairly expensive exercise, but you could always order more than one/some other stuff from that site, or find someone on XDA to go dutch on the postage who lives in your country like I did (thanks to Victaaaa for same )
The Zagg invisibleSHIELD is the best in my opinion, uses a fluid that facilitates the placement may be withdrawn and placed if things do not go well the first time, this has the orange peel effect but this in no way affects the image or touch . I used it in the first SGS for 1 year and now I'm using it in SGSll about 8 months.
i recommend sgp ultra crystal too...i am using for 5 months and i have no problem at all...fully satisfied.
Thanks for all recommendations. I couldn't have any time to buy one yet; but I hope I'm going to buy this weekend from a store near here. I'm going to buy Belkin, if I can't find it I will prefer SGP or Zagg.

I use SGP Ultra Crystal and so far so good.
Zagg is probably the worse of all of them because of its tacky-ness. Also its scratch healing properties wear off after a month or so. The best is the 3M Estoc+ followed by SGP or RG Japan.
sgp ultra, solid choice in my opinion.. can't go wrong
I recommend SGP ultra crystal film or 3M estoc
I am thinking of getting a screen protector for my moto g. I know it has gorilla glass 3, but i hate scratches on the screen so much I am still considering giving it a bit more protection. Had a look on amazon, not a lot of choices. In fact this seems to be the only good one. It has no reviews, so thought i'd share it here and get some opinions.
PS: Am i being too weird? Is the screen already safe enough? let me know
Clear protector: link
Antireflex protector: link
It will be my first smart phone, so I got the flip case/cover for the all around protection, but yeah, if you just want it for the screen, I guess it's an OK choice. Though I've read some people don't like the feel of those protectors.
My Dad has a Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman and it just has a "Scratch-resistant glass" and it has no protection at all it has been 2 years but there is not even a single scratch on it and I know how rough he uses the phone so there is no need for extra protection
Watch the scratch test video! They used even a knife but the screen was like new

I am just a bit of a freak when it comes to scratch on glass
I went to the beach with my Samsung S4 and it got scratched, but luckily I did have a screen protector on. So yes gorrila glass protects against knifes but it won't protect it from sand
@theArchitektas
Where did you get flip case from? Pretty sure they are not selling them yet
I have the atFolix ones on order from Amazon; were dispatched last week but still waiting. I'm the same, I always put screen protectors on my phones; the only exception is my Lumia 920 as it has a curved screen and I couldn't find a decent one to apply (even the official one was no good)!

I can strongly confirm. When I had mine I scoured the interwebs looking for a protector and couldn't find a good one. But I had min for about 1.5 yrs and had NO SIGNIFICANT SCRATCH. There would probably be small lines near the SE logo... but you would have to peep closely to notice.
I think I might order mine without the SP and decide to get one later.

I could, though the Moto X itself isn't sold in the UK. I wanted an immediate solution so I wouldn't have to leave it unprotected but I'm happy enough with the outcome to wait until some decent screen protectors arrive on the UK market.

People who say only things of a certain hardness will scratch Gorilla Glass are talking rubbish. Either that or the phones I've seen in CeX - no more than two month old devices in some cases, with screens that look like they've been sandpapered - have been kept in the same pocket as someone's beach samples.
BEWARE the moto g does scratch quite easily, I know this because mine slid off the chair and the screen cracked and had scratches all over it, I now have got a replacement moto g and put a screen protector on from day one !

If you are spending $200 on something that could be damaged a good screen protector is cheap insurance.
We replaced my wife's Nexus S (bought the first month they came out) with a Moto G. She never had a screen protector. She has one bad scratch in the Nexus screen http://www.patentlystupid.com/sw/nexus.png sorry the pic is blurry but I took it in the dark with only a blue LED flashlight to highlight the scratch. Now keep in mind the Nexus S did not have Gorilla Glass. My guess is my wife's diamond ring hit the screen while she was rooting around in her purse one day. That is the only bad scratch on this 3 year old device.
A friend of mine likes to carry high end ($300+) pocket knives made by Bench Made, they constantly scratch is screens and he has resorted to using Spigen Glass screen protectors and these too get badly scratched by the metal edges of these hardened knives. He has replaced several already.
So no you are not being too weird or paranoid. I use Spigen Glas-Tr myself. I have no scratches on it yet, but I would rather replace the $30 screen protector than the screen on my $650 SGS4. Just make good sense.
I have put a cheap plastic protector on my wife's Moto G screen. I will replace it with a tempered glass one as soon as I find one I like.
screen protector ensures higher resale value, and since I sell my old phones on craigslist/ebay, I put protector on every single time. Sometimes $.99 stores sell iphone screen protector n I use it as temporary one until I wait to receive one I ordered online.
As for Moto G, I received the phone today and learned that the cover that comes with the phone CAN be used as a screen protector. Those M logo and motorola name on it? You can scratch them off with your fingernail.
I just got my Mate 20X and love it (thanks FunkyHuawei!). I am waiting on accessories to arrive from China. While I wait, I am using the Huawei installed screen protector. It is funny, the first few days I used this with the plastic film on the front while waiting for the screen protectors to arrive but last night when I removed that film to install the temp glass protector I got I noticed it seems to have a protector already installed. FunkyHuawei said Huawei installed that.
Does anyone know, is this Huawei installed protector any good? Should I just use it until it shows wear and then replace it or maybe replace it now? It looks good, seems to cover well and no other issues I can discern.

Huawei put covers on there phones i find them pretty good I'll buy new when this gets used
Just changed the OEM one off my M10P before I gave it to my nephew. The original lasted about 6 months for me.
Are the ones they use temp glass or film, hard to tell without picking at it?
Do they still have zero oleophobic coating underneath the factory screen protector like on the P10 and some of their other phones or did they stop doing that?

Film on oem. To me the tempered glass one's feel better once you change but I had to turn on gloves mode after that.
I noticed it to and was wondering how it got on there. Thought the dealer might have put it on.
Lol it seems this phone has two screen protectors on first one can be pulled off but there is a second that is very hard to see but its there. I was quite surprised as you can hardly notice its there unless you pick at it from the corner.
I don't use screen protectors on my phones. Any harm or benefit if I remove the factory installed one from Huawei? Screen angles better? Responsiveness better?
I never took the Screen cover off mine when I got it, I peeled the white remove tab off the screen cover, and it will stay that way until the plastic wears out or peels off.
Only took mine off for tempered glass. Otherwise they're very good
I received my phone and am puzzled by the screen protector. I detect a rising at the corners, so I thought it had a protector or film, but when I tried to take it off, it didn't want to come, so I thought it might be part of the screen.
Then I noticed that there was some distortion on the screen. While playing with it, I ran a fingernail over it, and created another mark in the screen. I was freaked out, but apparently it's a really well put on screen protector? I'm happy to leave it on, but does anybody know how to buff any slight creases out of it?

That's a film screen protector. I remove it from the very first second and i install the Tempered Glass One.
VERY FUNNY. I put a glass screen protector on top of the factory film protector, which I did not notice until many days after. I only knew that is a removable film until I read this thread. The double screen protectors apparently worked fine for me, and now I feel super strong.
